CD quality doesn't throw away data that your ears can hear, thanks to the Nyquist sampling theorem. If your ears can hear better than 20khz I'd be very surprised.

Yes, Didn't say it throws away data "that our ears can hear" but that it "throws away data", period (which is true). And not just frequencies but also dynamic range.
That said, a high quality mp3 also doesn't throw away data that "our ears can hear", not with absolute physical certainty (as in Nyquist et al), but with psycho-acoustic research level certainty. (I say high quality because lower quality mp3s trade more usable signal for space savings).
